I've not seen this view posted before (... actually I've never seen an image of this detail before... but we all know the subject well).but I'm wondering if the very directional lighting is making this subject look different from other shots we've seen.
It's a tribute to my limited imagination and Charlie's excellent clues. After Floscularia, aquatic insects were the only things I could think of that might have structures like this and would be described as "live subject". Of those, mosquito larvae and pupae were the only ones that fit the clue "we all know the subject well". Web search on other images didn't let me rule out either one, so I went for both.curt0909 wrote:Rik, I don't know how you got that on your second guess.
